Are You Prepared for the Horrors of Tommorrow?Are You Prepared Today For
the Horrors of Tomorrow?

Updated February 20, 2011

(This is intended as a VERY
SPECIALmessage
originally posted in November of 2007 and is separate from the usual quarterly message from our Vladyka who is the Metropolitan
Archbishop of this jurisdiction... a message for the whole world)

Let's Not forget to put Jesus Christ back into Christmas whose coming into this
world we celebrate!And, Let's not forget that
"Spring Recess" is actually "Easter" or "Pascha" for which Jesus Christ died,
descended into Hell and Arose again for our salvation! Put Prayer back into the
Schools, the Ten Commandments back into our governmental monuments and more...!

Blessing to you who view this message

especially to my Dear Brothers and Sisters in
the Vineyard

and all who are my spiritual sons and
daughters...

May the Grace of Our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ

and the Holy Theotokos be yours
according to your

individual nature and degree of
ability to understand

this special message, Blessings
indeed.

The finality of what this message has to say,
beginning with a question, may alarm many of you. Yet, it is intended (in
part) to alarm you for one should be prepared today for that which is to come 'tomorrow'
(that is, in the times to come which are not far off for many of us...).

Over a period of time I have received
numerous inquiries as to why I have said on more than one occasion, "...not all
Protestants are going to hell and not all who are 'Catholic' (Orthodox and
Roman) are going to heaven," or something similar. A very good
question that has been asked in different ways at different times by many.
Well, I beg your prayers and forgiveness for being verbose and digressing a bit in order to
explain in more detail than usual.

I would ask you to read the "Religion
of the Future" article we had our webmaster of the week to post during Pascha
(Lent & Easter) of
this year and which we indicated to him should remain on our website because
"Pascha" (Lent and Easter) should be an every day activity of self-examination
through out the whole year. But I reference the special article, "Religion
of the Future" because it contains spiritual guidance for you in
answering your question regarding my statements about Protestants, Orthodox
Catholics and Roman Catholics. Such a message as this cannot go without
extra advice about this warning
message and what it means for you who are truly spiritual strugglers in this
life for the life to come.

It would be a lie if I did not admit
that I have always held a certain amount of interest or concern regarding the
Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church because I was born and raised in it.
Notice I no longer use the proverbial "her" but "it" because of what is stated on other
pages linked in the special "Apostasy" pages.
For should I refer to the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church as "her"
I would with a very heavy heart ashamedly have to apply the beliefs of spiritual
truth which are coupled with Biblical Prophesy and therefore I would most
assuredly have to refer to the Roman Jurisdiction as being the "whore of
Babylon" because of their further departure from all that that jurisdiction
had once held as true and right in accordance with the faith once and for all
delivered.

St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai &
San Francisco, along with his spiritual son, blessed Father Seraphim Rose
continue to be my personal patron saints. Yes, there are many who believe
only St. John Maximovitch is a Saint. But one cannot help but believe, from any
special and personal experiences they may have had in their encounters during
and after the life of Father Seraphim Rose but what he must be a Saint in
Heaven. I have called upon St. John
Maximovitch and Father Seraphim Rose many times, even most recently. In
each instance, I have had my prayers answered each and every time. I say,
with foreknowledge, "...each and every time..." because it
is a fact for me in my own endeavors in the vineyard. I am cautious as
to what I pray for when calling upon any of the Saints in Heaven, and especially
when involving the name of Father Seraphim Rose... But, again, my prayers have
been answered each and every time. Thus, I do believe he is a Saint in
Heaven even though, to my knowledge, has not been canonized yet in the Orthodox
Church. He should be!

Father Seraphim Rose, a convert from
Protestantism to Russian Orthodoxy during his
life, was greatly influenced by his Spiritual Father, St. John Maximovitch of
Shanghai & San Francisco in tandem with his faith and belief in all that is
truly Orthodox. There is no question on that and no one can refute that
fact! If any one can refute that fact, then I would have to say they are spiritual sons of the Evil One
whether or not they realize or know it!

For my unworthy self, both these men,
these "Saints" were influential to a great degree in my own life without
intimidation, without elitist attitudes of ethnicity and they lacked the
arrogance of snobbery often times associated with most ethnic Orthodox and Roman
jurisdiction's clergy from their pope on down. The influence Father
Seraphim Rose and St. John Maximovitch had in my life was subtle, almost un-noticeable,
but somewhat perceptible at a later time by this unworthy one.

They provoked my mental molecules and my spirit.
They did not proselytize my unworthy self in those days... they gave both the
'pro' and 'con' sides in their answers to whatever question I posed to them
whenever I came into contact with them at the bookstore on Geary Street in San
Francisco. And, indeed, as I look back, I realize that I was then, as now,
a neophyte or novice in many things.

Over these last years I've found that Orthodoxy
is on upswing. Why? Because people are finding out that Orthodox
Catholic Christianity is the font and source of all that Christ created.
It is truly His Church that He created when in this life. It is the Church
of the Apostles. It is the Church from which the Roman Jurisdiction
separated or schismed from.

Roman Catholic, in the very midst of their
eroding and disintegrating jurisdiction structures, are finding that Orthodox
Catholic Christianity is everything they once thought romanism to have been.
Many Protestants are awakening to these truths, recognizing that they, having
been members of the thing they abhorred the most which is their parent,
Romanism, now are awakening to the reality of the very root and branch of
Christianity as being grounded in Orthodoxy; discovering the profoundness of
Christianity in Orthodox Catholic Christianity that Christ created and the
apostles themselves preserved by the Holy Spirit against heresies and heretics.

Father Seraphim knew I had come from the Roman
Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, I guess more by my questions or responses
to the casual and limited conversations we had in the beginning. He had
often upbraided me in a kindly way as regards my misunderstandings of the Holy
Mother of God. He had reminded me of the fact that we are all pilgrims and
there is nothing permanent here in this earthly life. He had told me that I
should not allow myself to fall further into the pit of thinking or believing
that the faith is "academic" but "spiritual" and an every day struggle out of
pain of heart. "Orthodoxy is not a matter of the head so much as something lived
and living, of the heart." "If you do not find Christ in this life, hardly will
you find him in the next," was another of his repeated statements to me.
He would often quote, "God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God,
and God in Him... Perfect love casts out fear," (1 John 4:16, 18).
Many other quotes he would often repeat and complete them with gentle and
sobering words of advice.

I cannot help but recall that what Fr. Seraphim
had taught me during those very brief visits to the Geary Street Bookshop, did
not sink into my being until many years later. For, inasmuch as having
been a member of the Roman jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, having been
raised in it, I errantly failed the true test of my catholicity because the
richness of the services and many other things often lead to a false hope bound
up in and with those things that are material. And in Orthodox
Catholicism, I've learned, is much the same for many parishioners too.
They, both East and West, have failed or have forgotten that the center and
focus of our very being must all the time be on our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, His very Life and Teachings. If we are inspired at all, we must be
inspired on where and on whom our focus is to be. Centered on Jesus Christ
Himself ... just a little more each day in all things that we do, keeping our
minds focused on Him, even during our daily work activities whether in the
office or factory, in the restaurant or wherever. If we can do just that,
growing within each day, then truly the legacy of Father Seraphim will not be in
vain and basically that is what makes Orthodox Catholic Christianity so
different from the Roman jurisdiction of the Catholic Church.

While, in both the jurisdictions East and West,
they are so rich in many ways with beautiful externals, which are not
necessarily externals - they do partake of the essence of Orthodox Catholic
Christian truth when the center and focus is on Jesus Christ Himself.

Oh, we can follow all the fasting rules, the
prayer services and many other things. We fall into the trap of external
concerns and not the internal, the spiritual. As a result, if our focus is
not on Jesus Christ Himself, His Life and Teachings... then Christ is not there
in the doing of those things which we observe during the day, in the services,
the prayers and other things. It becomes nothing more than a waste of time
in beautiful things... "Things" ... Hmmm....

Christ must always be there in all things.
Behind every thing He must be our focus.

There are very few who can deny that
much of what Father Seraphim Rose authored concerning the Religion of the Future,
has been and is coming about in these present times in which we live.

The age
of Apostasy also known as the beginning of the End Times had already begun well before some of us were even born. But the greatest
hallmark of this evil became more noticeable in the Roman jurisdiction of the
Catholic Church during the reign of John Paul II and his "Vatican II" council.
There were other indications, but for many, including my unworthy self... we
were spiritually blind in those times while endeavoring to do that which we
thought was proper for the advancement of the faith, even to the degree of not
recognizing or realizing the depth of our own selfishness and sinfulness as a
people, as faithful and as clergy. There is no one who can say otherwise about
himself then, and now!

What was happening during those days of long past
were days filled with the less noticeable beginning fruits of apostasy that few
recognized or realized. Father Seraphim Rose and his spiritual father, St.
John Maximovitch were a part of the few who recognized and attempted to warn us
in many ways. And, in some ways, in our day-to-day activities,
we were unwitting participants, even (to some degree) advancing those unholy
things they were trying to warn us against, by our lack of true spiritual understandings.

Our own youthfulness in the 1950's, 1960's,
1970's and 1980's advanced the cause of ungodliness even though we had
erroneously believed we were doing a 'holy' work. For many of us, we were
independent of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church but very 'roman' in
our ways of thinking, acting and believing.

Although during the 1960's and 1970's I had come
to the beginning of a struggle toward Orthodoxy, I had not fully inculcated such
into my being, so much as having begun a journey that has never since ended and
goes on even today.

For my unworthy self though, I
mentally and spiritually give great thanks to the influence of St. John
Maximovitch of Shanghai & San Francisco as well as his spiritual son, Father
Seraphim Rose has had in my life. What they quietly placed within me, has brought me to where I am
today... not fully awake (for none of us are truly awake) yet to the endeavors
of the great deceiver, Satan, but becoming more so as time advances and we grow
older in this spiritual and material life. Not fully Orthodox yet, for indeed I
believe it will be when I cross over this veil into the next life that I surely
will know if I had become more or fully Orthodox in spirit and truth.

Let me provide you some spiritual
food from the writings of Father Seraphim Rose as an indication of what I am
talking about.

"Any thoughtful observer of the world today can see that the formation of a
'new spirituality' has progressed precisely along the lines which Fr. Seraphim
described. When Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future was first published in
1975, the form of neopaganism in Western society was only beginning to be
delineated. Today it has taken on a more definite shape, being seen most clearly
in what has come to be known as "New Age" spirituality. In 1975 the term "New
Age," though indeed familiar in Masonic, esoteric, and countercultural groups,
was not common parlance. Now it is a banner term for a whole worldwide
movement—and a multi-billion dollar business. "

Having
lived in the Haight & Ashbury Streets area of San Francisco in the 1960's I was
surely a part of that which he is talking about regarding the "New Spirituality"
for it encompassed the "Flower Children" in those times.... Also in his writing, he says:

"The
Eastern religions that Fr. Seraphim wrote about—especially Hinduism and
Buddhism—continue to gain followers,
receiving endorsements from high-profile celebrities and being publicized
through television talk shows, news magazines, and other
media outlets."

and
what he wrote is very true for indeed Buddhism and Hinduism in San Francisco
during those times were being sought after by visitors to the city and many of
those of the Flower Children too. The Ashrams were open to all and yes, I
did visit and recognized that which Father Seraphim was speaking about in his
writings. Even the Holy Order of Man's was a conglomeration of those many
religion's philosophies as I was not necessarily unknown to them either. The "Religion
of the Future" goes on to say:

"The
Harry Potter phenomenon represents only one of many vehicles
by which witchcraft is being popularized in the youth culture.
Movies (e.g., The Craft, Practical Magick) and television shows (e.g.,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed}
target
young audiences with the allure of how powerful and "hip" one can be
through occult practices, and a plethora of books (e.g., The Real Witch's
Handbook, Teen Witch]
and Web sites offer detailed instruction and
guidance in how one can become a witch [Linda
Harvey, "How Sorcery Chic Permeates Girl-Culture," Spiritual Counter­feits
Project Newsletter, 27:2 (2002-2003), pp.
1-15.]."

Then
it goes on to say:

"New Age/neopagan
gatherings take place on a regular basis throughout the world. In America the
most prominent of these are the Rainbow Gatherings held in various parts of the
country, and the Burning Man Festivals held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.
Drawing New Agers, Wiccans, goddess-worshippers, earth-worship­pers and outright
satanists together with curiosity-seekers and party-goers, the Burning Man
Festivals increase in size every year; in 2004 there were 35,000 participants.
The Festivals conclude each year with the torching of a forty-foot-high
sacrificial wooden man, reminiscent of the ancient "wicker man" sacrifice
practiced by the Druids on the feast of Samhain."

and,

"Mental
hospitals throughout the country have instituted New Age programs: Eastern
meditation, transpersonal psychology, biofeedback, and music meditation. Many
senior citizen centers have adopted Yoga as a way to promote "mind-body"
health. A large number of major corporations have sponsored New Age seminars
for their employees, where visualization, hypnosis, "psychic healing," "dream
work," contacting "spirit guides," and other "consciousness-raising" practices
have been taught. Even in public, government-funded schools, mediumism under
the name of "channeling" has been taught as a means of "inner healing." A
consortium of concerned parents inConnecticut
has described what has been happening in the classroom: "In the name of
discovering their 'life purpose,' children are encouraged into trance-like
states of mind where they communicate with 'guardian spirits.' The use of Yoga
exercises and mind control techniques are other examples of the format of this program," [Connecticut Citizens for Constitutional Education, January 22, 1980]."

and,

"Christian churches,
sadly, follow the same dangerous trends, trailing in the dust of the world's
march of apostasy. In the mid-1970s Fr. Seraphim had written: "The profound
ignorance of true Christian spiritual experience in our times is producing a
false Christian 'spirituality' whose nature is closely kin to the 'new
religious consciousness.'" Years before "channeling" of disembodied entities had
become a New Age fad, Fr. Seraphim had quoted "charismatics" speaking about how
they "channeled" the "Holy Spirit." But even if we omit the issue of the
"charismatic revival," the prognosis he made has been borne out in other areas.
As New Ager Marilyn Ferguson writes in her book The Aquarian Conspiracy: "An
increasing number of churches and synagogues have begun to enlarge their context
to include support committees for personal growth, holistic health centers,
healing services, meditation workshops, consciousness-altering through music,
even biofeedback training,” [Marilyn Ferguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy (Los
Angeles: J. P. Tarcher, Inc., 1980), p. 369]."

and,

"In the city of
Detroit, for example, 'Silva Mind-Control' courseshave been taught by a Roman
Catholic priest and nun. In New York City, the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John
the Divine has featured sermons by David Spangler—a leading member of the Findhorn
Foundation who has said that a 'Luciferian Initiation' would be
required to enter the New Age. In Oakland, California, the 'University of
Creation Spirituality,' under the leadership of Episcopal priest Matthew Fox,
advocates a redefined "Christianity" that rejects the traditional Christian
theology and the ascetical Christian worldview while embracing Wiccan
spirituality. Here, 'rave masses' (also known as 'techno-cosmic masses') are
held every month, having been originally launched at Grace Episcopal Cathedral
in San Francisco. Described by one observer as "a syncretistic brew of paganism,
witchcraft, nature-worship, drama, art and dance," these multi-media "masses"
are attended by well over a thousand people [Catherine Sanders, "Matthew Fox's
Techno-cosmic Masses," Spiritual counterfeits Project Newsletter, 26:3
(Spring 2002), p. 4.).

Concurrently, there
is now a movement in contemporary Roman jurisdiction of the Catholic Church to
assimilate the teachings of Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of the New
Age movement.Jung, who participated in séances and admitted to having "spirit
guides,"taught that the exclusion of the "dark side" is a fatal flaw in
Christianity, and that therefore there needs to be a fourth hypostasis
added to the Holy Trinity—Lucifer! His theories are being extolled in Roman
Catholic seminars and workshops, and his psychotherapy is being practiced in
some Roman Catholic churches, and by monks and nuns in some monasteries [Deborah
Corbett, "The Trouble with Truth: A Review of The Illness That We Are: A
Jungian Critique of Christianity by John P. Douiiey," Epiphany Journal,
Spring 1986, pp. 82—90; "Jungian Psychology as Catholic Theology," St. Catherine
Review,
May-June 1997; and Mitch Pacwa, S.J., Catholics and the New Age (Ann
Arbor, Mich.: Servant Publications, 1992).Episcopal and Protestant(especially Methodist)
churches have also entered this movement; a number of
Protestant ministers also work as Jungian analysts [Deborah Corbett, "The
Jungian Challenge to Modern Christianity," Epiphany Journal, Summer 1988,
pp. 33-40].

Within many mainline
Christian churches, there is a strong and determined movement to "re-imagine"
the Christian faith along the lines of radical feminist theology, neopagan
goddess worship, and a New Age worldview. In 1993 the first "Re-imagining"
conference was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in conjunction with theWorld
Council of Churches' EcumenicalDecade of Churches in Solidarity with Women. The
conference was attended by over two thousand participants from twenty-seven
countries and fifteen mainline denominations, most prominently thePresbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran,
Roman Catholic, United Church of Christ and
American Baptist.One third of the participants were clergy. Speaking of the
need to "destroy the patriarchal idolatry of Christianity," the conference
speakers rejected and at times ridiculed the Christian dogmas of the Holy
Trinity, the Fall of man, the unique incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, and the
redemption of man by Christ's death on the Cross. In place of these articles of
faith, the conference promoted pantheism, shamanism, and homosexual rights. The
participants took part in a "liturgy" wherein milk and honey were used rather
than bread and wine, and the goddess "Sophia" was worshipped rather than Jesus
Christ. The chant was repeated: "Our Maker Sophia, we are women in your image
... with our warm body fluids we remind the world of its pleasure and
sensations." [Craig Branch, "Re-imagining God,"
Watchman Expositor,
11:5
(1994), pp. 4-6, 19].At a later Re-imagining conference held in
1998, Sophia-worshipping participants also shared biting into large red apples
to express their solidarity with Eve, whom they regard as a heroine for having
partaken of the forbidden fruit.

Although conservative
Christians have spoken out against the conferences, the Re-imagining community
remains influential within mainline churches, holding inter-denominational
caucuses to discuss strategies for expansion. Worship of the goddess Sophia
continues within these churches. As recently as June 2004, during the
Presbyterian General Assembly in Richmond, Virginia, a "Voices of Sophia"
meeting was held in which Sophia was invoked as a goddess [Parker T. Williamson,
"Staying Alive: Re-imaginers Gather," The Presbyterian Layman, July 2004,
p. 9]."

then we find,

"Since
Fr. Seraphim first wrote about the
"charismaticmovement" that was sweeping Christian
churches, the movement has grown at a phenomenal rate. Worldwide,Pentecostalismis the fastest growing segment of Christianity: it is increasing at a rate of
thirteen million people per year—primarily in Asia, Africa and South
America—and now claims nearly a half billion adherents ["The Rise of
Pentecostalism," Christian History, no. 58 (1998), p. 3.].

Fr. Seraphim's observations about
charismatic experiences have been borne out most strikingly in the "holy
laughter movement" that mushroomed in the 1990s. About "laughter in the Holy
Spirit," Fr. Seraphim had written:"Here perhaps more clearly than
anywhere else the 'charismatic revival' reveals itself as not at all Christian
in religious orientation." This is precisely the charismatic
phenomenon that has seen the greatest increase in the last decade.

The rise of the
current laughter movement can be traced to another movement that arose withinPentecostalism: the so-called Faith (or
Word-Faith) Movement in the 1980s. Also known as the "health, wealth and
prosperity gospel" because of its teaching that Christ has delivered believers
from the curse of poverty and sickness, the Faith Movement contains strange
tenets which resemble those of the New Age movement, such as belief in the power
of creative visualization (visualizing what you want, and then "claiming" it),
the belief that aperson can become as much an incarnation of God as
Jesus Christ was, and the denial that Christ redeemed man through His death on
the Cross [Dr. Nick Needham, "The Toronto Blessing," The Shepherd, 16:3 (Dec.
1995)].

Through the
ministries of leaders such asKenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Rodney
Howard-Browne, Kenneth Hagin, Morris Cerullo, Paul Yonggi Cho, and Marilyn
Hickey, the Faith Movementhas spread its heresies and attendant charismatic
phenomena through­out the world. They themselves and in their teaching practices
debunk the rights of the Catholic World View (Orthodox and Roman) that the Seals
of the Confessional have anything to do with the Christian faith. Yet,
attempt to use it for themselves and cannot because they are heretical teachings
and heretical faiths from that which is grounded, root and branch, in Orthodox
Catholic Christianity which even the Roman Jurisdiction officially came out of
by its schism in 1054 A.D.

Since the spring of 1993, the movement has had
a profound impact, not only on Pentecostal churches, but on mainline Christian
churches as well. It was then that Faith Movement leader Rodney Howard-Browne
drew widespread attention to his televised "laughing revival" at an Assemblies
of God church in Lakeland, Florida. Thousands came from around the world to take
part. Howard-Browne would walk through the crowds, placing his hands on people,
and saying such things as "Fill! Fill! Fill!", whereupon many would collapse on
the floor, laughing uncontrollably, cackling and hooting. Others would writhe on
floor screaming hysterically, act as if drunk, be stuck to the floor with what
Howard-Browne called "Holy Ghost glue," or be "slain in the Spirit," that is,
fall to the ground on their backs, often into unconsciousness [The Dictionary of
Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements notes that Kathryn Kuhlman (1906-1976) was
the person responsible for introducing the modern phe­nomenon of being "slain in
the spirit." Whereas earlier manifestations of being "slain in the spirit"
usually lasted for a few minutes, at the touch of Rodney Howard-Browne people
have been "out" for several hours].Each of these
manifestations would often last for up to several hours, and sometimes
(as in the case of uncontrollable laughter)
for several days.

Calling himself a
"Holy Ghost bartender" who is "drunk all the time," Howard-Browne showed disdain
for any attempts to test the spirits to see whether they are of God (I John
4:1). "I'd rather be in a church where the devil and the flesh are manifesting,"
he stated, "than in a church where nothing is happening because people are too
afraid to manifest anything.... And if a devil manifests, don't worry about
that, either. Rejoice, because at least something is happening!" [Rodney
Howard-Browne, The Coming Revival (Louisville, Kentucky: R.H.B.E.A.
Publications, 1991), p. 6].

In August 1993,
Randy Clarke, pastor of the "Vineyard" charismatic church in St. Louis,
Missouri, attended a Faith Movement meeting led by Howard-Browne in Tulsa,
Oklahoma. Four months later, Clarke brought the "laughing revival" to the
Airport Vineyard Church of Toronto, Ontario. What began as a four-day series of
meetings expanded into months of nightly services that sometimes lasted until 3
a.m. At this point the laughter movement skyrocketed, eliciting massive coverage
by the worldwide media. Dubbed the "Toronto
Blessing,"
the "holy
laughter"
meetings were billed as the top tourist attraction of 1994. Hundreds of
thousands of Christians came to the Toronto church from all over the world—not
only Pentecostals,
but also Mennonites, Nazarenes, Methodists,
Anglicans,
Baptists, Roman Catholics,
etc. [Paul Garden, "'Toronto Blessing' Stirs Worldwide Controversy, Rocks
Vineyard Movement," Christian Research Journal, Winter 1995, p. 5].

In Toronto, the
manifestations of the Faith Movement-inspired "laughing revival" grew even more
bizarre than those reported earlier. In addition to the phenomena already
described, people were seen to crawl on the ground and roar like lions, bark
like dogs, paw the ground and snort like bulls, oink, howl, moo, crow, growl and
emit other animal noises [Deacon R. Thomas Zell, "Signs, Wonders, & Angelic
Visitations," Again, Sept. 1995, P. 6]. Other manifestations of the "revival"
included jerking and shaking of the head and body, karate chopping motions,
imitating warriors, dancing uncontrollably, abdominal spasms, intense chest
pain, "vomiting in the spirit," and "birthing" (going through a mock labor and
delivery) [Curt Karg, "Rodney Howard-Browne/Toronto Airport Vineyard Phenomena,"
Position Paper: October 1996, available from Spiritual Counterfeits Project].

Of the hundreds of
thousands of people who have taken part in the "Toronto Blessing," 15,000 have
been Christian ministers and pastors. They have subsequently
brought the movement to their congregations throughout the world, causing such
phenomena as "holy laughter" and being "slain in the spirit" to multiply at a
rapid rate on five continents. In England alone, 7,000 churches, including those
of the Church of England, have embraced the Toronto Blessing. The manifestations
of the laughter movement have now swept what has long been regarded as
mainstream Christianity. In July of 1995, Pat Robertson's700 Club featured aPentecostaland several Protestant andRoman Catholic charismaticscholars who
defended the animal noises as either manifestations of the Holy Spirit or human
responses to the Holy Spirit's working [Timothy Brett Copeland, "Discerning the
Spirit: Reflections of a Charismatic Christian," Again, Sept. 1995, p.
9].

The widespread
acceptance of these manifestations reveals an utter ignorance of the
traditional Christian standards of spiritual life. In the Orthodox Church, most
of these manifestations have been historically regarded as clear signs of
demonic possession. In Orthodox Christian countries even today, such behaviors
are exhibited by pos­sessed individuals during services of exorcism performed by
Orthodox priests. An American Orthodox nun, who attended such exorcisms in
Russia in 1995, records that "Once the services are underway, the demons begin
to show themselves. One woman rages in a male voice, another person shakes
violently, another shrieks, another is thrown to the floor, losing consciousness
... yet another looks as though he is in dis­tress and pain, just before
vomiting on the floor.... They scream their hatred for the priest, vowing to
have their revenge, as he douses them with holy water. Some demons make jokes,
others are just raw anger and hatred. But the loudest noise always seems to that
of animals: mooing, crowing, and especially barking and growling." [Nun
Cornelia, "Exorcisms in Russia Today," Death to the World, no. 10 (1995),
p. 10].

Although, as Fr.
Seraphim Rose has noted, charismatics would disclaim any association with
occultism and paganism, [See Fr. Seraphim Rose, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the
Future, 5th ed., p. 149]it is noteworthy that the same
manifestations of the "holy laughter" movement are found in the New Age
movement. The Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, called by his disciples the
"divine drunkard," encouraged his devotees to come and "drink" from him. His
spiritual "wine" was often passed on with a single touch to the head (known as
the shakti-pat), at which his followers would collapse in ecstatic laughter.
Another fa­mous guru, Swarni Muktananda, would hold meetings at which thousands
of his followers from around the world came to receive his touch. They
experienced uncontrollable laughing, roaring, barking, hissing, crying, shaking,
as well as falling unconscious [Testimony of former Muktananda disciple Joy
Smith, in Focus magazine, no. 12 (Winter 1995/1996)].

Muktananda was only
imparting to his disciples experiences that he himself had undergone: roaring
like a lion and other involuntary animal behaviors, which he attributed to
spirit-possession by the goddess Chiti [Quoted in Tal Brooke, Riders on the
Cosmic Circuit (Batavia, Illinois, Lion Publishing, 1986), p. 45].

It is also noteworthy
that prominent New Agers have spoken out in favor of the "holy laughter"
movement that has entered Christian churches. One such spokesman, Benjamin Creme,
well known for his predictions of the imminent coming of a New Age Messiah, has
said the following about the "Toronto Blessing": "People are reacting to new
energies invading our planet. Energies emanating from the 'christ' give them a
sense of peace." [Quoted in Tony Pearce, "Holy Laughter" and the New Age
Movement (London: Light for the Last Days), p. 3].

Popular evangelist
Oral Roberts, who hosted a revival led by Rodney Howard-Browne, has called the
"holy laughter" movement the beginning of "another level of the Holy Spirit."
[Julia Duin, "An Evening with Rodney Howard-Browne," Christian Research
Journal, Winter 1995, p. 44]. Howard-Browne him­self has said the movement marks
a "powerful new wind of the Spirit,"bringing with it "the exciting sound of joy, joy,
joy, joy!" that is "ener­getically stirring us to higher levels with God."
[Quoted in Charles and Francis Hunter, Holy Laughter (Kingwood, Texas:
Hunter Books, 1994), p. 5]. This is remarkably similar to claims made by today's
New Age "prophets." At the same time "holy laughter" began to ripple through the
churches, New Age leader Barbara Marx Hubbard wrote that the human race was soon
to experience a leap in evolution which she called "The Planetary Pentecost" or
"The Planetary Smile." [Barbara Marx Hubbard, Teachings from. The Inner
Christ for Founders of a New World Order of
the Future (Greenbrae, Calif.:
Foundation for Conscious Evolution, 1994)]. "From within," she wrote, "all
sensitive persons will feel the joy of the force flooding their systems with
love and attraction. As this joy floods though the nervous systems of the most
sensitive persons on earth, it will create a psychomagnetic field of empathy....
This massive sudden emphatic alignment will cause a shift of consciousness of
Earth." As a result of this, she says, "The 'christ' will appear to you all at
once." [Barbara Marx Hubbard, The Revelation: A Message of Hope for the New
Millennium, 2nd edition (Nataraj Publishing, 1995)].

With mainline
Christians having the same experiences and har­boring the same expectations as
neopagans, we see the fulfillment of Fr. Seraphim's words about how many
Christians will be deceived into accepting a pagan initiation experience."

Whether one likes to admit or not, a
greater majority of so-called "Christian Churches" are become charnel houses for
the Devil's grist mill. A design to take souls to their perdition as a
result of accepting the
false Christianity being espoused by Jehovah's Witness,
Pentecostals,
but also Mennonites, Nazarenes, Methodists,
Anglicans,
Baptists, Mormons,
Church of Christ, Charismatics, Evangelicals, Lutherans,
ChristianScience, most (if not all)
those who are calling themselves "non-denominational" churches and more, even
now the same can be said of the New Church, being the RomanJurisdictionof theCatholicChurch
(since the repose of Pope Pius XII even though the Roman jurisdiction had, since
the 800's... more especially since 1054 A.D.... had innovations never before
accepted by the whole of Christendom... and now those Orthodox jurisdictions or Churches who are
entertaining ideas of unity them are being engulfed by the actions and
activities of the Evil One!

As an example of one minister alone, one will see
that the Evil One also can work "miracles" as a means to make it appear
to all that the Holy Spirit is at work. A very protestant minister by the
name of Morris Cerullo is just one of the many ministers whose false brand of
Christianity is leading many souls to the gates of hell. And, indeed, this
man's intervention in the lives of families who are affected by diseases and
other health issues would truly make one think the Holy Spirit is alive and
doing well and that the 'Church' is blossoming into a new age. This was
also prophesied in the Holy Bible, the Apocrypha of John, also known as the
Revelation of St. John. But even the Evil One, the Devil himself, can
and does impersonate a high and holy angel.

History is replete with historical facts to show
that with the Church of the West, the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church,
since 1054 A.D. have been more quick to cave into the desires of the faithful
who have been led astray by heretical teachings from Protestantism's infections.
We have seen this more clearly since John Paul II's Vatican II council.
And we see it more so with the Roman Pope, Benedict XVI.

The Evil One, who is known by many names:
Lucifer, Satan, Allah (Islam or Muslim) and others... is well known to appear as an angel of light and
allows for his un-holy ones (demons) to also appear as though they are 'holy'
ones... has insinuated into the heart and mind of man that which has been the
main cause for the Roman Jurisdiction's downfall through those who have brought
about the 'child abuse' 'child molestation' crimes. Most, if not all that
you see in the electronic news media (television, radio, etc.) concerning child
abuse or child molestation is about "Catholic Clergy" here, "Catholic Clergy"
there, etc. to where it has even infected some of the Orthodox Catholic
jurisdictions.

Hardly at all do you hear or see anywhere about a
Protestant minister being caught in a child molestation 'sting'... it is more
predominately Roman Catholic (a misnomer). One can only ask "Why?"
And the answer is simple with all that has been said thus far.

The Evil
One wants to gain more souls and thus protects those of the Protestant churches
who do his bidding to ensnare (unknowing to themselves) those people to the
false Christianity sweeping the country and the world to where even the present
Roman Pope, Benedict XVI, is more so ensnared. Why not? Primarily
because it is one of the world's larger Christian churches with political and
so-called 'spiritual' tentacles wrapped around the world from one end to the
other. Thus the synchrestic ecumenismdisease
along with the disease of scholasticismhas gained a stronger
foothold.

The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, knowing full well
that the religion of Islam (Moslem/Muslim) is an evil religion that calls all
other religions "Infidel" and demonstrate their abhorrence to them by capturing,
forcing conversion and killing those who do not submit to them... The news is
filled with horror stories, even the fact that in Islam (moslem/muslim)
countries, it is a part of their Q'uran (Koran) that their virgin boys be
sodomized in order to bring about the fulfillment of their belief that
"Allah"
or their Holy Prophet will be re-born through the loins of a male. Unheard
of? Then you are blind and ignorant and have failed to research their
religion. "Allah" is the name given to the moon god by Pagans long before
the Islamic Mohammed coined Islam and wrote his satanic Koran (Q'uran). In
their so-called Holy Book, the Q'uoran (Koran), it is allowed for all Muslims
(Islamicists) to sign any kind of document, treaty or other agreement with
infidels in order to get what they want but because they are Muslim
(Islamicists) dealing with infidels,
they do not have to live up to those treaties, agreements or documents
whatsoever. Even the U.S. Government and other governments of the west are
well aware of those facts and yet, they continue to do business and rely on
their upholding their end of agreements knowing full well what the outcome could
be. Why? Is it possibly the desire and need for their Oil?

Yet, having full and complete knowledge of those
fact, along with many others, the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church courts their
favor through politics and other resources in order to win world favor more than
to win a conversion of those Mohammedans (Islamicists).

The fangs of the Evil One has seeped so far and
wide into governments that we only have to look at our own U.S.A government
reaching the very president's office (George W. Bush) to see what is happening.
One of the more glaring examples is his rush to falsely tell the people that
Islam is a 'religion of peace' when the very examples of what is
happening in Iraq and other Arabic (Islamic) countries says much otherwise as we
watch our soldiers coming home in body bags more and more. Even with the
national border crisis being what it is, our congress has been falling in step
with the President on many issues that are being decided by the Evil One through
the offices of our government (high and low = city, county, state and federal).

Even though there are Sedavacantist more now
than ever before (Roman clergy and faithful who have kept to their traditional
ways separate from the present day Roman jurisdiction) one can take a look at just some of what has
been happening in the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church as seen from the
Sedavacantist point of view:

What
we see that is taking place through out the world now is an infection of the
Evil One.

What we have presented above so far is such that
should open your eyes, your mind and heart to the reality of what is going on.
Do not think for one moment that it cannot and will not affect you, for surely
it either already has and you are blind, or it will. What is happening is
rushing this world closer to the age of a ONE WORLD CHURCH and a ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT.

With various "Orthodox" Catholic
jurisdictions (not in union
with Rome) snuggling closer and closer to the advances made by the Roman
Jurisdiction toward them; it is only a matter of time but what the Seven
Oecumenical Councils of ancient times will be obliterated without forethought
and a new style of "Christianity" will replace what has been always from time
immemorial "Orthodox" and "Catholic" of the One, Holy, Orthodox, Catholic and
Apostolic Church.

Do not think for one moment that YOU will NOT HAVE TO
MAKE A CHOICE! For the truth is that you eventually will have to MAKE A CHOICE!
If you don't, one will be made for you as though it is legal. That choice
will be whether or not you will silently give in to the ONE WORLD CHURCH ideal
and activity, including the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT... the later may not be a
choice you will make, but one that we will all have accept as our own
governments accede. But when it comes to matters of faith, worship, and
belief, you do have the right to make a choice. If you do not accept,
there will be a time in which you will not be able to purchase or buy anything,
to rent, to own a house, a car, etc. Only that which you presently have
will you be able to keep and then you will be deprived of income for not going
along with the choice of a ONE WORLD CHURCH which your local church or parish
will present to you to make. Or, silently, it will slowly accept and put
into practice very subtle changes in its form of worship, liturgy, doctrines and
dogmas much the same as the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church has.
And when you finally awaken to the realization of what has happened, it may be
to late to make a choice. And, if you leave, you will be shunned and then
you won't be able to buy or sell, etc. The mark of the beast may be in any
form and you will have to choose whether to accept it or not. If you
don't, that will be the final turning point in your life as to whether or not
you can buy or sell, have an income, own anything that you don't yet own.

Some of you, if you reject the ONE WORLD CHURCH,
the mark of the beast, you may no longer be able to pay rent, or to even rent an
apartment or house, etc. You may not be able to buy food, clothing, or
anything else. Thus you will have to resort to a form of barter system
with others who have also rejected the ONE WORLD CHURCH idealisms, etc.
You may have to move!

Those of us at the Monastic Community of St. John
Maximovitch & the Holy Theotokos desire to be prepared for those times to come
and we invite you to join with us either physically (geographically) or from a
distance to ensure for more security (spiritually and/or materially) in the times to come.

We are NOT DOOMSDAY prophets or what is sometimes
referred to as DOOM SAYERS! No! We are though, preparing for those
times ahead. You can help, even from a distance no matter who and from
where you are at this very moment. Preparing now so that in the times to
come you may have a place here with us or with us in another location if we can
accomplish such preparations. We are very small in numbers at this time,
but there will come a time in which we pray we will become an 'Orthodox Safe Haven'
or 'Orthodox sanctuary' for many
to come.

In the local area of Luna County (Deming), New
Mexico we have become a an advocacy means for those who are faced with
infringement of their Constitutional Rights; for the elderly, Disabled Veterans,
those with HIV/AIDS, those who are being sought out by official and their
henchmen for things appertaining to the Luna County Ordinance #37 and such that
further beats these people into legal submission to accept things opposed by
Constitutional Guarantees as placed within our U.S. Constitution and Bill of
Rights.

There are examples where the guarantees of that
contained in the U.S. Constitution, DUE PROCESS rights have been violated in
Luna County, New Mexico by the local government through their County
Commissioners, the Sheriff's Office, and others of the county who had been publishing
the now defunct The
Liberty Press, and more. Of those in this corrupt county who were publishers
of The Liberty Press one will find that they are cultic protestants whose beliefs they
defend and give lip service to such beliefs while their actions expose them and
their roots as being satanic unbeknownst to themselves and those who are with them.
They begrudge Catholics in general while claiming friendships with them but hold
no value or belief to those who have maintained and protected the Seals of the
Confessional through their alleged actions to incite and promote fear in the
hearts and minds of less educated and sometimes mentally challenged people,
especially those with diminishing capacities such as the elderly. Those
are diversionary tactics to keep themselves from being found out as promoters of
hate, prejudice, leading sometimes to violence it has been alleged. A
violence that is exampled by the following video!

Metropolitan Archbishop, Archabbot, Primate

"Prejudice Makes Prisoners of the Hated and the Hater!"

A Response from the many
we have received in just two short days:

Dear Eminence;

What you, St. John
Maximovitch and Father Seraphim Rose have stated about the “Religion of the
Future” and the “One World Church” is right on the mark. This is exactly what I
have been trying to put across in my Awake Series of Articles.

Please understand that
the recent thefts of people’s personal information, including bank PIN codes,
Social Security numbers, etc., from banks and the Veterans administration, did
not happen by accident. Once again I must remind you of the Hegelian Dialectic,
first create the “solution” and have it in place, then create the problem so
that you can implement the solution. The mark of the Beast will come about
through the banks cashless system. They are going to push people, using fear of
“stolen identity” to get the implanted Biometric chip. Then when the Anti-Christ
is made known, the Ruler or Rulers of the One World Church will take it to the
next step of people swearing their allegiance to the Anti-Christ and those that
do will then be given the numerical “666” added to their Biometric information.
Those who do not swear allegiance to the Anti-Christ, will have their banking
accounts frozen, and with one click of a computer mouse, all of their
information will be wiped out. They will no longer “exist”.

But there is also
another more horrifying thing with the biometric chip, it will also contain a
locator chip so that each individual who receives the biometric chip, can be
tracked any where on earth to within 5 feet of their actual location. This means
that those who have the chip in them, but who refuse to swear allegiance to the
Anti-Christ, will be HUNTED down and executed (most likely beheaded). My advice
is for people NOT to get the chip, especially if you value your immortal soul.
When the time comes and if I am still alive, and you, I will very definitely do
all in my power to hook up there with you, because if we are too survive and
spread the TRUTH, many of us must join together in small communities and work
together just to meet our everyday physical needs.

Some horrifying times are coming, but those
who have a strong faith based on the Truth, will survive.

Gregori,

P.S.

From what I understand, by 2008 it will be mandatory here in
the United States that EVERY animal, (pet and livestock) will be required by law
to have the locator chip in them. Sadly, this will mean that when the time comes
to FLEE to the wilderness, we will not be able to bring our beloved pets with
us, as we could be tracked through them.

(Apostle1.com's notes and
commentary:
Some rather scary actions are taking place in Europe, especially in Great
Britain (England) with their planned usage of technologies that will be able to
track their citizens as they have already begun with their cattle and other
animals. Some of those technologies are already being put into use now!
It will only be a matter of time but what it will be used in the U.S.A and the
rest of European countries who are members of the E.U. (European Union) are
beginning to do similar things we have been advised.

Additional Note & Comments: Since the posting of
the above, in a matter of two days alone, the amount of e-mail we have received
has caused us to persuade our Vladyka to make this a series which he is
considering. As time allows, we are in hopes he will present us with a
PART II in what we believe would be a well worthwhile series.

The staff of
apostle1.com thank the many of you who have contacted us through e-mail and
telephone calls regarding this special article from our Vladyka +Thaddeus.
Again, Thank you! May spiritual and material blessings abound upon you.)

In addition, when you have reached the end of an
article, you will notice that there is much that can be viewed by clicking on an
article after our "Disclaimer Notice". We have taken the liberty to
provide other information such as helps in definitions and understandings that
are truly Orthodox Catholic (not of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic
Church)... There is much, may be (according to some) too much! But there
is never such a thing as "too much" when attempting to learn and live the life a
true Christian.... For indeed if we are true Christians, we each and every one
of us needs information that will enlarge , or - at least, enhance our spiritual
understandings.

We must entrust our soul into the hands of God
the +Father, the +Son, and the +Holy Spirit who, as one God (the Holy Trinity)
is the source of all life and abundance for us who are still in this earthly
vessel. He knows our strengths (and our weaknesses) for he gave us
strength... It is our failings and sins that make us weak in spirit! If He
were to give us one dollar in conformity to our strength, we should not seek
five, so as not to grow faint under the weight of having too much, so that the
gift which is intended to serve to the good would not serve to the our great
condemnation. We must flee from our sinful falls not to reclusion, not to
the desert, but to self reproach, to confession of our sins - to repentance! Our
perplexity, our reasonings and our will - we must plunge them into the abyss of
the munificence and Providence of God!

something else we wish to warn you about.

article below entitled "The
purpose for presenting our Daily News section"
Sadly to say, we
take no pleasure in stating that some of the items we post are not from what we
would call true "Christian" organizations. But we post it because it provides
another side of the proverbial story. The Church,
after all, is
supposed to be a temple
for sick souls (sinners) without distinction
between their worse sins or otherwise, but it seems to some organizations that
they say much about others, but fail and refuse to upbraid themselves and their
members for their own sins...)

"Never,
never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be
eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy
is far older than any of her heresies."

Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians.
For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is
happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find
yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even
(although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not
far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ
through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the
Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered
once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive
under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.

Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for,
these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the
Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its
protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal
Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and
far too many more to list.

Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are
opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for
the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is
not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed
since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we
castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers"
who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for
they exist in these present times too.

Events are already rushing toward
that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully
wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around
both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through.
Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the
more informed observer may become apparent.

Those
little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and
erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these
United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which
entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming
a major focus in worship, and more.

We ask you,
if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed
(of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or
"Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?

Here in
North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that
what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering
into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something
very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its
jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who
are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....

The
lives of monks consist of a podvig
[(spiritual
struggle) exploit]
of repentance and of withdrawal from the world. They flee from judging their
neighbor in his moral falls, considering themselves to be sinners and the
worst of all men.

But, when it is demanded of monks and other clergy, that they remain humble
and indifferent to questions of faith, then do they cast off humility and
obedience. It is demanded of them, by the conscience of the Church, the
faith in and for the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ thatThey rise
up when the truth of Orthodoxy is threatened.They are supported
in this by a living conscience and by a sense of responsibility for that
faith for which our forebears-martyrs and confessors alike-sacrificed
everything, even their very lives. As a result we have opted to
present to you the story about
"Modern
Day Ecumenism and its horrors" along with
various links to who just a few of these Synchrestic Ecumenists are who
threaten the root and branch of Christianity as exists in true Orthodox
Catholic Christianity (Both Orthodox and Roman)!

American
Orthodox Catholic Christian Clergy and Faithful (East & West) need to understand
what has been happening about the U.S.A's
Constitution as
it relates to guarantees of Religious Freedoms being stripped away by some
states for what is happening applies even to those of religious bearing.

"Do
not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said."
Matthew 28:5-6

The following articles and information do not necessarily reflect the attitude
or beliefs of this jurisdiction or those who are with us in spirit and truth!

"I understand the idea of sodomy and homosexuality, but to say that
homosexuality is not a sin is incorrect and not just in my mind but all of
Orthodoxy and again, not just in Orthodoxy but all of Catholicism and again,
not simply all of Catholicism but all of Christianity with the exception of
those who have this in their personal life as sin or are very close to someone
who does. Celibacy or Married Life is the ultimate ideal. For both
Homosexuality and Heterosexuality are truly sinful if... and below is the hard
part of this understanding..." (Ed. Note:We
have never said "homosexuality is not a sin or okay... however, there are
those who, being homosexual, are that way for a variety of reasons.
Jesus Christ talked of these kinds as referring to Eunuchs. The
conversion tactics employed by many other groups, bespeaks of a "politics"
that is not wholly honest either spiritually or even materially. For, in
their endeavors they have failed to show forth the truth that one is driven
into a "closet" style of life.
It is better, we believe, to become wholly celibate, be it a homosexual or
even heterosexual... and to learn what "celibacy" really means and requires).

If a man looks on a woman who is not his wife with lust, he has sinned. If he
and she are married to other people he has committed adultery. If a man looks
at a man with lust he has sinned the same as a man who looks at a woman.
Sodomy does not have to enter into it, lust for someone is a sin by itself and must be
removed. But people do this all day long to be sure but it is still a sin. To
say that homosexuality and heterosexuality are not a sin due to their lusting, allows
both heterosexuals and homosexuals to live in sin without
repentance and this is wrong to do to them spiritually.

It is for the sake of their own soul that one has to recognize sin that is in
them and not to excuse it regardless of the sin or the preference of the
sinner. Sodomy is indeed a sin regardless of what any one may tell you, the act of
attraction or the lust is a sin even without action and simply must be
repented of by both heterosexuals and homosexuals. I must also add this; woe to all who misguide others into sin and
especially those who are of the clergy who do this. For the sake of your own
soul and others, you must recognize this and repent. I know that it is not
easy to overcome and if it is never overcome then one must live a life of
constant repentance, that is the only choice.
